The unannounced successor to the Nintendo Switch is reportedly already in development kits at many studios, and we’re hearing that the studios that have them aren’t holding back too much.

On Twitter, Spanish insider Nash Weedle wrote that the Nintendo Switch 2 devkit has received an important update. One of the insider’s sources, a developer, said they could go a step further because of the Japanese company’s update. We don’t know exactly what the change is, but Nash Weedle suspects that Nvidia’s artificial intelligence scaling technology DLSS (Deep Learning SuperSampling) may have received an update, and the Japanese company’s yet-to-be-announced console should support it based on the rumors we’ve heard so far.

The successor to the Nintendo Switch hasn’t even been unveiled yet, so its name could change (it won’t be called Switch U, will it?). Rumor has it that the launch, scheduled for fall 2024, has been pushed back so that the supposedly hybrid platform (which can be used in portable form, not just connected to a TV or docked) won’t be available until early 2025, so that Nintendo can produce enough of the console to avoid making the mistake that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series made almost three and a half years ago (even though there were serious supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic).

Recently, another insider, Nate The Hate, wrote that Nintendo has asked developers to provide assets from their games, which means that the Japanese company is already preparing for an official announcement of the console. Apart from that, there is a lot of speculation about the hardware. It’s said to be powered by Nvidia’s T239 chip, which can’t even match the performance of the Xbox Series S, but with Nvidia’s DSS Ray Reconstruction support, its ray tracing performance could make it better than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

This is all unofficial.
